4. Eggs are good for incubation from 2
which will be close to zero in case of eggs kept for more than 15 days.
5. Choose eggs with normal shape (they should not be oblong, spherical, corrugated or misshapen in any way).
6. The egg shell must not be cracked, thin, broken, soft, tapered or blue spotted (old eggs).
7. Allow the cold eggs (from storage temperature) to warm to room temperature gradually before putting them into the incubator. A sudden
heating from +12°C to +38°C would cause moisture on the egg shell leading to decreased hatching rates.
8. Avoid incubating eggs from different species. Do not add eggs after having started incubation.
6 – PREPARATION AND START-UP OF THE INCUBATOR
To obtain a successful hatching it is important to choose an appropriate location for the incubator. The temperature in the room where the
machine is housed must be between +20°C and +25°C, it should be comfortable, clean and well aired but devoid of air draughts (e.g. not a
stable or a garage). Make sure that the machine is not exposed to direct sun light or placed next to heat sources such as radiators, stoves, etc.
The relative humidity should be between 50% and 75%.
DO NOT USE THE INCUBATOR IN ROOMS WHERE THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW +20°C OR ABOVE +25°C. We suggest you keep it at
home.
Do not use or store the incubator in a room where there are chemicals, poisonous, toxic or flammable substances, even in small concentrations,
as they will negatively affect the development of embryos.
Do not use the incubator where there is the risk of contact with water or other liquids.
6A – CONTROLS:
The incubator has no controls: inserting the plugs activates respectively the electric resistor and the motors.
The incubator can be used in two ways, open and closed: while closed it works as a normal incubator, while when open, it allows only the
handling of the eggs.
6B – USE:
Operation of the unit is simple:
A) Place the incubator on a flat table. The table must be at least 500 mm high. The base of the incubator must rest directly on the table in
order to prevent any obstruction of the ventilation holes.
B) Remove the lid and place it beside the machine, keeping the grill downwards.
C) Remove the plastic floor from the base of the incubator, as it is necessary only for
hatching (last 3 days). DO NOT LEAVE IT INSIDE THE MACHINE DURING
INCUBATION!
NB: store the plastic floor on a flat surface so that it won't deform.
to 6 /7 day from laying. Incubating eggs older than 8 days considerably reduces the hatching rate,
